It may be that it can only be done using javascript (if at all). The a
element must be inside another element. One of the difficulties in changing
this is that there is no way to put links inside links, because it is not
clear which one should be activated.
You can also make large active areas using imagemaps.
Another alternative would be to use SVG - there are free plugins or browsers
avaialble, and you should be able to do something more like what you want.

Is there a way to ensure that wherever the user clicks (within the

This could be a blank page, a table...
I cannot seem to, though I realise that in theory a number of
transparent graphics could work.
Some of my clients would benefit from this facility in the first
instance.
